... we will see simon Cowell cry.

*GASP!*

Simon Cowell broke down during the filming of his interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, reports claim.

The News of the World understands that the media mogul cried when asked about the death of his father, which he described as a "horrible, horrible time".

Cowell said: "You believe everyone is going to live forever and they don't and all the stuff you think you care about, the hit records and stuff like that, it's just meaningless.

"I can't admit things, that's why I can't go to funerals and stuff like that. I find it very, very difficult to deal with that kind of reality. I shut myself off totally because it affects me so badly."

He added: "And then, because I had to deal with that, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do - because I'd never lost anyone in my life. I just couldn't accept it."

His mother, 84-year-old Julie, said on the show: "He just went to pieces."

The Life Stories interview with Simon Cowell airs next Saturday at 9pm on ITV1
